This service strikes me as a revenue opportunity for MB. After all, how many of the Seatimes million readers knew the deceased? It's a neighborhood thing.

Thank you for closing down the trash California site (which evolved to trash anyone else who is not from Ballard. If I recall correctly–but her posts are so very numerous that I can't remember them all–she, I think, is unemployed, apparently from Ballard, and has posted overwhelmingly negative about anyone not from Ballard.

And this thread seems to have been maybe (hopefully not) resurrected with the Howdy post.

Just a comment–MyBallard gets quite a bit of comment on the street and the bus–and it's mostly on the (negative) trashing of posting of comments in the last couple of months. There seems to be about 5 posters who dominate, and it really is mostly negative about anyone else who posts a comment that might offer another opinion.

Again, just my opinion–but I'm sorry to see this MyBallard go down hill so fast.

And since I believe I am posting to the Geeky Swedes (oh yes, I'm the Proud Hawaiian and Proud Middle Easterner–the term “geeky” was not even invented when I was your ages!), I don't expect this post to show up on the forum.

I can do it on the websites of The Seattle Times and the SF Chronicle, but I find I won't even read comments on websites where that's not an option (like the new PI site). <br><br>Please, add a thumbs up/thumbs down option. Unfortunately, there has recently been a poster or two that I've been dying to "thumbs-down". I'd like to see the option of voting not only approval, but disapproval, of posts.

Please, add a thumbs up/thumbs down option. Unfortunately, there has recently been a poster or two that I've been dying to “thumbs-down”.
